Sentry.metrics() method not found Version 8.3.0

[adonnini]

Hi, I am using Snetry 8.3.0 in my Android application.
When I try Sentry.metrics().increment compilation fails claiming it cannot find the metrics() method. Could someone help me resolve this issue?

My environment

Android Studio Ladybug patch 2
gradle 8.9
com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.7.2

//DEPENDENCY ENTRY - I DO NOT HAVE A PLUGIN ENTRY
implementation 'io.sentry:sentry-android:8.3.0'

My code

import io.sentry.Sentry;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
.
.
.
//INSIDE THE METHOD WHOSE EXECUTION COUNT I WANT TO TRACK
		final Map<String, String> tags = new HashMap<>();
		tags.put("onLocationChangedAction", "onLocationChangedAction");

		Sentry.metrics().increment(
				"method_execution_count", // key
				1.0,                      // value
				null,                     // unit
				tags                      // tags
		);

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Thanks

Hi,

I realize that Sentry.metrics() is no longer available.

Based on the response from docs AI, Trace Explorer, metrics successor, does not do what I need which is count the number of times selected methods are called.

Can anyone help me? All I need is a way to count the number of times methods are called in my Android Java application. I really hope I can use Sentry to do that.

By the way, I realize that Sentry may be overkill for doing this. However, my longer term goal is to track and record additional metrics.

Thanks
